What is the battery performance of the SoundLink Revolve and Revolve+
Bluetooth speakers?
In typical usage, the SoundLink Revolve battery lasts up to 12 hours and the SoundLink
Revolve+ lasts up to 16 hours. Battery performance can vary with the content played and volume
at which it is played.
How long does it take to charge the SoundLink Revolve and Revolve+ Bluetooth
speakers' battery?
While not playing music, much of the SoundLink Revolve speakers' battery charge can be
recovered in approximately 4 hours when using a USB power source. Charging from alternate
USB power sources or when playing music may take longer.
What purpose do the voice prompts on the speaker serve?
They provide guidance during the Bluetooth pairing and connection process. They also identify
the connected source devices by text to speech, simplifying usage with more than one source
device.
Can the voice prompts be disabled?
Yes. Simply press the "+" (volume up) and "–" (volume down) buttons simultaneously.
Can the SoundLink Revolve and Revolve+ Bluetooth speakers be used to provide
audio for video, such as watching a movie on a tablet?
Yes. However, the quality of the experience—specifically, synchronization between audio and
video—may be compromised due to various signal processing technologies implemented in the
speakers. This is true especially when using Bluetooth as your input. For better synchronization
and lower latency, we recommend you use the Auxiliary or USB Audio inputs. For the best
experience, please update your speaker's software.
What does the IPX4 rating mean for the water-resistant SoundLink Revolve
speakers?
The IPX4 rating classifies the degrees of protection provided against the intrusion of solid
objects (including body parts like hands and fingers), dust, accidental contact and water in
electrical enclosures. For SoundLink Revolve and Revolve+, we've stretched beyond the
required testing parameters, to ensure that your speaker will long outlast an accidental showering
of water. This means that you can use SoundLink Revolve and Revolve+ in more places and not
worry if it gets wet (for example, splashes at the pool, getting caught in the rain, washing your
car, splashes in the kitchen, etc.). Just don't submerge it.
